Maci Bookout and her boyfriend, Kyle King, had a blast at an LA pumpkin patch Oct. 18 and an eyewitness tells HollywoodLife.com it wasn’t staged for publicity like fame whores Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag would have done!

Teen MomMaci Bookout, 19, has been under fire for making not-so-smart decisions in her past relationship with ex-fiance Ryan Edwards, 22, but it appears as though she is finally in a happy relationship with longtime friend Kyle King who treated her to a fun day at the pumpkin patch — and even though the cameras were rolling, we have learned exclusively their love is the real deal.

“They were there no more then a half hour, but it gave them time to go through the whole patch,” our insider says. “He helped her in all her choices, because they tried to pick some of the biggest pumpkins in the patch and she is rather tiny, which kinda seemed liken a running joke between them both.”

The paparazzi did catch a few frames of the glowing couple looking posed in which our source says was reminiscent of the Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt days of organized ‘candid’ shoots. However, Maci and Kyle are nothing like the washed up reality stars who have thankfully disappeared into obscurity.

“They were very aware of the cameras and some pictures seemed very staged in a Heidi and Spencer type way,” our source says. “But they were a couple — as much as they played up to the cameras, they were also sharing intimate moments. It was super sweet!”

Although our insider says it was Maci who played up to the paparazzi more, she didn’t let it take over her time with Kyle and left before the media circus got too crazy.

“They just appeared to be in a great mood, had so much fun and before you knew it they left. They appeared to be a very happy couple!” our insider explained.

We love seeing a reality star who knows how to handle the paps in a classy way! Do you like that Maci and Kyle are back together?
